229 - We Agreed On Experiencing Life, So Why Did You Immortals Become Real?

### Chapter 229: I Really Do Like You, My Lord When Sili finished speaking, Xiao Mo was momentarily taken aback. He genuinely hadn't anticipated that Sili, a candidate for the position of Holy Child, would say such things to him. Wang Xin, however, raised his head and blinked at Xiao Mo, his eyes full of caution. Noticing Xiao Mo's puzzled expression, Sili gracefully bowed slightly and spoke with utmost sincerity: "If Young Master Xiao is willing to collaborate with me, I will devote myself wholeheartedly to serving you, and the entire Wan Hua Peak will follow your lead." "Interesting," Xiao Mo chuckled lightly, "but as for the position of Sect Leader's wife, you don't quite fit the bill." Sili's expression froze. She hadn't expected Xiao Mo to reject her proposition so decisively. Locking eyes with Xiao Mo, Sili continued with a smile on her face, "Isn't Young Master even a little tempted? If you agree, all of Wan Hua Peak will obey your command. And are you not familiar with the 'Sun and Moon Heart Technique' I practice? It is a dual-cultivation method that leads to the path of immortality." "If you and I cultivate together, not only will your powers heighten, but every day and night will be like an ecstatic journey to immortality. Because of this technique, I will never betray you, nor will I harbor any dissent. Furthermore, shared cultivation between us will reinforce your practice and accelerate your ascension." Upon hearing Sili's words, Xiao Mo turned to Wang Xin next to him. "Is she telling the truth?" "Everything she said is true. She's not deceiving you," Wang Xin affirmed earnestly with a nod. "I see." Turning back to Sili, Xiao Mo's gaze grew cold. "Even without Wan Hua Peak's support, I can still ascend to the position of Holy Lord of the myriad paths. Without your 'Sun and Moon Heart Technique,' I can still strive for ascension. Should Wan Hua Peak dare act against me, I can ensure none of you remain." Listening to Xiao Mo's words, Sili furrowed her brow. Xiao Mo wasn't bluffing. Given the prowess he had already displayed, the seat of the Holy Child of the Sect was possibly within reach. "You did remind me of something," Xiao Mo continued, shifting the topic. "Once I gain power, I will indeed need someone to help manage affairs. Relying solely on Yun Wei won't suffice." Sili's eyes lit up. "Then what do you propose, my lord?" "As long as you loyally serve me when the time comes, I will not mistreat Wan Hua Peak," Xiao Mo stated before turning away and walking onward. "Wang Xin, let's go." "Okay, coming!" Casting a glance at Sili, Wang Xin promptly caught up with Xiao Mo. But it wasn’t long before Sili caught up to Xiao Mo on the other side, holding her hands in front and smiling warmly, clearly not having given up. "Is there something else?" Xiao Mo inquired. "Are you headed for the Black Dragon Sect, my lord?" Sili asked with a smile. "And if I am?" "If you wish, I could accompany you. At the Black Dragon Sect, I have a surprise for you—a gesture of my loyalty." Sili's tone was soft and gentle, reminiscent of freshly steamed, tender rice cakes. "What surprise does she have in mind?" Xiao Mo turned to Wang Xin once more. Wang Xin replied truthfully, "She knows the Black Dragon Sect is facing some troubles. It's rumored that within the sect, the legendary beast Chaos is expected to appear. Currently, the Imperial Beast Sect is plotting against this ancient creature." "But despite the threat, the Black Dragon Sect is formidable, and the Imperial Beast Sect wouldn't dare act rashly. They plan to negotiate within a month. If negotiations fail, a battle may erupt." Xiao Mo nodded. "What does this have to do with Sili?" "The leader of Wan Hua Peak discovered a Chaos Pearl while exploring ancient ruins. This pearl might successfully lure out Chaos." Catching another glance from Sili, Wang Xin elaborated, "The Chaos Pearl is incredibly rare, a condensation of the residual chaotic energy left in the world—just what Chaos is most fond of consuming. "The pearl is kept within a treasure box only Sili can open. Sili knows she can't control Chaos. Even if she could capture it, she could never keep it. Hence, gifting the pearl to you is merely a favor, giving her an excuse to stay close to you in hopes of gaining your favor—" At this point, Wang Xin lowered his head, cheeks unusually pink, choosing to say no more. Even though Wang Xin didn't finish, Xiao Mo understood what Sili's intentions were. "Indeed, the Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart exists in this world, capable of discerning others' thoughts." Sili candidly confirmed, "That's right, just as dear Wang Xin said. My lord, please don’t be upset. I genuinely like you very much, and if you desire me..." Sili allowed the light veil to slip slightly, revealing a hint of her pale shoulder. "My lord, whatever you want, I can provide." "You may accompany us, but should you dare make any unwelcome advances, you'll be the first I cut down." Without casting her another glance, Xiao Mo quickened his pace and walked further ahead. "My lord, you're so stingy... Wait for me, my lord..." Gyrating her hips, Sili trotted to catch up. Over the next few days, Xiao Mo and his companions continued toward the Black Dragon Sect. Sili had taken a keen interest in this promising disciple from the Blood Peak. Back at the Sect of Myriad Paths, she'd overheard countless mentions of Xiao Mo's name from her fellow sisters. Many had plotted to detain him on the spot. Some, infatuated, even resorted to staring at portraits of Xiao Mo within their rooms, indulging in secret fantasies. But Xiao Mo was impenetrable, no female had succeeded in capturing his attention. His junior sister vigilantly shadowed him like a thief, preventing any other woman from approaching. Now gazing at the most gifted disciple in Sect history, Sili had an inexplicable sense of pride and satisfaction. She was among the precious few who had drawn near to him. Two days later, she witnessed yet another testament to Xiao Mo's prowess. Amid a surprise ambush, Xiao Mo stood unchallenged. Opponents of equal standing couldn't withstand a single strike. Even two Jade Puo realm cultivators fell to his relentless blade, scattered into the nether. Sili was already familiar with Xiao Mo’s martial prowess. Back at the Sect of Myriad Paths, she had kept a close eye on him. Yet, in such a brief span, how had Xiao Mo's strength ascended yet another level? Sili didn't doubt for a moment that Xiao Mo would breach the Jade Puo realm by the subsequent day. An under-twenty Jade Puo cultivator... truly terrifying. In the initial days of their journey, Sili remained demure in his presence. But gradually, she began to make sly advances. (End of Chapter)
